The birth of this Nation began with the ideal that all people were endowed with certain inalienable rights, those being life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but since then we have fallen short of this promise more times than I care…
It was an acknowledgement that we, as a country, have fallen short and we took actions to help those who have been harmed, those who were impacted adversely, no-fault of their own and unwittingly and unknowingly to nuclear fallout.
Nuclear weapons have been an important component of U.S. national security ever since they were developed back during the World War II.
"No taxation without representation" is more than a political slogan for the people of Washington, DC.; it is the cruel reality of their citizenship.
The District of Columbia has a fierce advocate in Congress who will never stop fighting for their representation.
As a Black man in America, I understand what it's like to be targeted because of how you look.
Whether the massacre in Atlanta was sex based or race based, it was hate based and directed at Asian women.
The correlation between the rise of xenophobic and racist rhetoric by President Trump and his Republican Party supporters and the dramatic and alarming rise in violence against Asian Americans is not coincidental.
I have evolved on that issue, and we cannot create a vacuum of power in the wake of our absence that would destabilize the region and our rebuilding efforts.
By holding this hearing, we are taking a step away from the chaos and towards accountability.
